Garage Cleanout Questions

[matthewsx]

I'd say $200 for the lot, especially if you help drag the other stuff to the curb and put a free sign on it.

I have a set of old Victor torches. They are great. Make sure there are no leaks. Same with the hoses. That old torch doesn't have a flashback arrestor on it, so be careful with the plunge cuts and dirty metal so that you don't get a piece of junk in the tip while you are cutting. It might be better to use the cutting torch mainly for heating and maybe sometimes cutting clean plate.

I would plumb in 2 flashback arrestors before using it.

Oh, now I see that somebody else already said this. That was embarrassing.

I like that torch!

@TomKro , I'll let you know when I have my yardsale down here in Fallston , a stones throw away . I do very well ridding my un-wanted tools and tooling from the garage and basements . I do advertise it on CL and FB and hold them out on Rt. 152 out back . You are always welcome to join in as we have a very large one . Dave

Thanks to all for the feedback on the torch and regulators. We have no gas bottles to test the rig, so I think as far as I can go is to try to locate a new gage lens, dust them off, and sell the items "as is". If the torch gets listed on CL, then I'll recommend the owner specifically note "not equipped with flashback arrestors", mainly as a cover their butt sort of thing.

The drill press looks pretty clean, but I haven't decided if I want to bother with it right now. Lots going on around the house right now. Also, plenty of things to clean up and move out before jamming more hardware into the black hole of my basement. My pack rat instincts are colliding with my need to get serious about downsizing. If the neighbor wants to bother with Craigslist, I'll recommend they start a little higher for the drill press and see what happens.

Dave, thanks for the offer. Let me know the next time you plan on having a yard sale. Will be nice to meet a few more people from the H-M Forum.
